How it's played, how to sign up, and how the rankings are worked out. Everything you need to know before your first Sunday.
Every Sunday we play Mexicano — 16 players per session, four courts, two hours. Pairs change after every round, so you play with new people and the matches stay balanced.
You sign up on the site — 90 lei per person, and the winner of each session takes home a set of balls. See the rankings and archive → · See how to sign up →
You sign up on the site, with a short form — no account, no app. Name, phone, pick your session, done. (The form is in Romanian, but it only asks for your name, phone and session.)
Go to the registration form →
After the announcement in the group, go to the registration page, enter your name and phone, and tick your session — 08–10, 10–12 or 12–14. You can tick more than one. Last Sunday's top 3 are already on the list, at their session.
16 spots per session. It doesn't matter who signs up first: if a session has more than 16 sign-ups, a draw on Wednesday at 9:00 decides who plays, and the rest are reserves, in the order of the draw. With 16 or fewer, everyone plays. (This rule applies from Sunday 18 October.)
If you got a spot, go to the registration page, under „Înscrierea mea" (my registration), enter the phone you signed up with and press „Confirm că vin" (I'm coming). The first time from a new phone, WhatsApp opens with a ready-written message, which you send from the number you signed up with. If you haven't confirmed by Thursday 22:00, your spot goes to the first reserve.
Reserves confirm the same way that they're still available. A reserve who hasn't confirmed drops off the list on Thursday at 22:00, and spots that open up go only to confirmed reserves, in the order of the draw. (From Sunday 25 October.)
Withdrawals close earlier, at 10:00. After that, talk to Cristi directly.
Three sessions: 08–10, 10–12 (mixed) and 12–14 (women's).
90 lei per person for a two-hour session — four courts, 16 players, rounds until the time runs out.
The winner of each session takes home a set of balls.
Reserved for women. If fewer than 8 women have signed up by Wednesday morning at 9:00, the session becomes mixed for that Sunday.
The top 3 of each session get a guaranteed spot at the same session the following Sunday, no draw. They're put on the list automatically on Monday, when sign-ups open, and confirm their spot by Thursday 22:00, like everyone else. Ranking: points first, then wins; in a complete tie, everyone tied gets in. (Applies from Sunday 18 October.)
Everyone signed up gets one ticket. If you were a reserve last Sunday and didn't get to play, you get two tickets — double the chance of getting in. A reserve who hasn't confirmed their availability by Thursday drops off the list, so they're no longer a reserve and don't get the double ticket. The draw is done by computer, with a seed that stays saved (it's shown next to the lists on the Mexicano page, in Romanian): with it and the list of sign-ups, the draw can be re-run at any time, with exactly the same result.
On the same page, under „Înscrierea mea" (my registration): enter your phone and it shows which sessions you're on — after the draw, also whether you have a spot to confirm. The full lists are here.
In a session you play for games. In the monthly ranking what matters is where you finish — your place in each session earns points:
From 11th place down, the session earns no ranking points.
